Animal Hematotoxicology: A Practical Guide

Animal Hematotoxicology: A Practical Guide for Toxicologists and Biomedical Researchers by G. O. Evans explores the assessment of blood-related effects in animal toxicology studies. It focuses on the three main blood cell types—erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes—and explains the importance of hematological data in evaluating toxic effects and supporting the assessment of potential risks to human health. This practical reference is designed for toxicologists, biomedical researchers, and professionals involved in preclinical studies.
